U.S. Bahá’í UN representative receives Friendship Award

June 16, 2008 - 11:35am

U.S. Bahá’í UN representative Jeffery Huffines received a Friendship Award for his work “promoting cultural understanding throughout the world and at the UN Headquarters” and for serving as a “positive, guiding force” to all.

The award was given at the United Cultures Peace Festival & Concert on June 12 and presented by His Excellence Gabor Brodi, the Hungarian Ambassador to the UN. Mr. Huffines has served as the U.S. Bahá'í UN representative since 1996.

Friendship Awards are given by the Friendship Ambassadors Foundation, a non-profit organization that promotes peace through cultural exchange, especially in the performing arts. This year’s other awardees included the presidents of the UN Women’s Guild and the Give Them a Hand Foundation.

The true believer is one who is conscious of his strength as well as of his weakness, and who, fully availing himself of the manifold opportunities and blessings which God gives him, strives to overcome his defects and weaknesses and this by means of a scrupulous adherence to all the laws and commandments revealed by God through His Manifestation.
